Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football biography Casey Yu-Jin Phair (Шаблон:Lang-ko;[1] born 29 June 2007) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a forward for NWSL club Angel City FC and the South Korea national team. She was the youngest player to ever feature in a FIFA Women's World Cup, having made her debut in the tournament in 2023 at the age of 16 years and 26 days old.[2][3]
A Korean American who lives in New Jersey, United States, Phair was the first multiracial footballer to ever receive a call-up to the South Korea women's national team.[2][3] She is also one of very few footballers to have been capped by a high-level senior national team before having ever played professionally for any club.
Early life
Phair was born in South Korea to an American father and South Korean mother.[2][4][5] Her family moved to the United States when she was one month old.[5] Formerly residing in Exeter, New Hampshire,[5] she then moved to Warren Township, New Jersey, where she subsequently started playing soccer at the Pingry School, and training at the Players Development Academy (PDA) in New Jersey.[4][6][7]
Club career
Angel City FC
Following her strong FIFA Women's World Cup performance, Phair trialed with the her local NWSL club, NJ/NY Gotham FC, as well as the Kansas City Current and Angel City FC.[8] On January 18, 2024, Angel City announced that they had signed Phair to a three year deal. She is the youngest player ever to sign with the club.[9]
International career
Phair played for the South Korea under-17 team before she was called up to the senior team for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[2] She helped the under-17 team qualify for the 2024 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup, scoring two goals against Tajikistan and three goals against Hong Kong.[4]
At the 2023 Women's World Cup, Phair became the youngest player to ever appear in a senior World Cup— men’s or women’s— at the age of 16 years and 26 days, coming on as a substitute in South Korea's opening game against Colombia on 25 July 2023;[10] the distinction had been previously held by Ifeanyi Chiejine.[11][12] In the process, she also became the youngest footballer to have reportedly won a cap for a women's senior national team, a record that was later broken by Una Rankić in September of the same year.[13] Phair played in all three of South Korea's group stage matches and went on to make her first start in the team's final match against Germany, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[14]
On 26 October 2023, Phair scored her first senior goal, as well as her first hat-trick, in a 10–1 win over Thailand in the second round of the 2024 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament:[15][16] in the process, at 16 years and 119 days of age, she became the second youngest goalscorer in the history of the South Korean women's senior national team,[15][16] behind only Ji So-yun.[16] She also became the youngest player to ever score a hat-trick for any South Korean national team, in men's or women's football.[16]
